Peaceful Family Time

The last nine days I've been enjoying my mamma who came for a visit.

It's been a couple of years since my mother was over to see me and this time she got to experience a new version of my life.

New friends, a new home and even my new man! Whom she embraced.

We had a really beautiful time together just taking it easy, visiting some lovely places, dining out & shopping!

The thing I really appreciate about my mother is that she is a great connector, she speaks to everyone and all embrace her kind, warm energy.

Of course being with family can bring up all sorts of old habits of thought....

I'm sure I'm not the exception!

But what I discovered spending these days together was just how powerful our prayer (intention) is.

If I would find myself slipping into resisting my mother's ways or find myself being against her ideas, I would simply catch myself doing that and instead pray:

"Help us have a really beautiful, easy day together, release from me all resistance and let me be present to my mother."

I was amazed at how quickly my energy would shift so we could simply get back to enjoying the moment.

My mother loves her tea, and she even brought me some from home.

She also loves chips and boy did I use that as an excuse to indulge in some of the tastiest chips made with good, southern Italian oil!

We got some art & culture in too, she was delighted to discover that the Andy Warhol exhibition she missed in Dublin recently was exhibiting near my town.

There's our Spiritual Team again...bringing the experiences we seek right to us!

So, we had a wonderful time together just doing the mother-daughter thing.

I feel blessed to have my mother and for the time spent together in this enjoyable, peaceful way.

I hope my prayer helps you return to a nice feeling when with family or to become present to whoever is in front of you today. ❤️
